THE  STATE  COMMISSION 

OF  IMMIGRATION  AND  HOUSING 

OF  CALIFORNIA 


THIS  Commission  was  created  by 
the  Legislature  of  1913  to  bring 
about  a  more  rapid  assimilation 
and  Americanization  of  foreign- 
born  people  within  the  State.  Of 
cpurse,  on  account  of  the  participa- 
tion of  the  United  States  in  the 
world-wide  War  for  Democracy,  it 
is  more  than  ever  essential  that  our 
thousands  of  foreign-born  residents 
should  become  loyal  citizens  of  the 
country  of  their  adoption  and  that 
they  should  be  thoroughly  imbued 
with  the  "Spirit  of  America."  The 
distribution  of  this  Patriotic  Book  is 
but  a  part  of  a  special  War  Activities 
Program  adopted  by  the  Commission 
to  "speed  up"  Americanization  in  the 
Nation's  hour  of  need. 

The  Commission  maintains  Com- 
plaint Bureaus  at  all  of  its  offices 
to  receive  complaints  from  immi- 
grants whose  ignorance  of  the  Eng- 
lish language  and  the  American  laws 
and  customs  has  laid  them  open  to 
exploitation  and  fraud.  In  the  course 
of  four  years,  this  Department  has 
handled  and  settled  over  thirteen 
thousand  complaints. 


The  Commission  also  maintains  a 
Bureau  of  Immigrant  Education  to 
aid  and  advise  communities  in  estab- 
lishing night  classes  in  English  and 
citizenship  for  adult  immigrants,  and 
generally  to  inspire  and  aid  education 
authorities  in  undertaking  this  first 
essential  in  the  work  of  American- 
ization. 

The  Commission  enforces  the  Labor 
Camp  Sanitation  Law  and  has  in- 
spected and  improved  living  and  hous- 
ing conditions  in  over  four  thousand 
labor  and  farm  camps  where  thou- 
sands of  immigrants,  as  well  as  na- 
tive-born citizens,  live  throughout  the 
year. 

The  Commission  also  maintains  a 
Housing  Bureau  for  the  general  su- 
pervision of  the  enforcement  of  the 
State  iiousing  Laws  in  cities,  for 
planning  improvement  in  the  housing 
and  living  conditions  of  both  the  im- 
migrants and  the  native-born,  in  or- 
der that  there  may  be  one  standard 
of  living — and  that  the  American 
standard.

Aa  Expressed  in  Song  and  the  Words  of 
Famous  Americans 


OLD  GLORY 

By  the  driven  snow-white  and  the  living  blood-red 
Of  my  bars,  and  their  Heaven  of  stars  overhead — 
By  the  symbol  conjoined  of  them  all,  skyward  cast. 
As  I  float  from  the  steeple,  or  flap  from  the  mast, 
Or  droop  o'er  the  sod  •where  the  long  grasses  nod — 
My  name  is  as  old  as  the  glory  of  God. 
So  I  came  by  the  name  of  Old  Glory.

The  Declaration  of  Independence 

In  Congress,  July  4,  1776 
The  Unanimous  Declaration  of  the  Thirteen  united  State*  of  America 


WHEN  in  the  Course  of  human 
events,  it  becomes  necessary 
for  one  people  to  dissolve  the 
political  bands  which  have  connected 
them  with  another,  and  to  assume 
among  the  powers  of  the  earth,  the 
separate  and  equal  station  to  which 
the  Laws  of  Nature  and  Nature's 
God  entitle  them,  a  decent  respect 
to  the  opinions  of  mankind  requires 
that  they  should  declare  the  causes 
which  impel  them  to  the  separation. 

—  We  hold  these   truths  to  be   self- 
evident,    that    all    men    are    created 
equal,  that  they  are  endowed  by  their 
Creator     with     certain      unalienable 
Rights,   that   among   these   are   Life, 
Liberty  and  the  pursuit  of  Happiness, 

—  That  to  secure  these  rights,  Gov- 
ernments are  instituted  among  Men, 
deriving  their  just  powers  from  the 
consent     of     the      governed,  —  That 
whenever  any  Form  of  Government 
becomes  destructive  of  these  ends,  it 
is  the  Right  of  the  People  to  alter  or 
t<>   abolish   it,   and   to   institute    new 
Government,  laying  its  foundation  on 
such    principles    and    organizing    its 
powers  in  such  form,  as  to  them  shall 
seem    most     likely    to     effect     their 
Safety     ',  nd     Happiness.  —  Prudence, 
indeed,  will  dictate  that  Governments 
long     established      should      not      be 
changed     for     light     and     transient 
causes ;   and    accordingly   all    experi- 
ence hath   shewn,  that  mankind  are 
more  disposed  to   suffer,  while   evils 
are    sufferable,   than    to   right   them- 
selves   by    abolishing    the    forms    to 
which    they    are    accustomed.      But 
when    a    long    train    of    abuses    and 
usurpations,   pursuing  invariably   the 
same  Object  evinces  a  design  to  re- 
duce them  under  absolute  Despotism, 
it  is  their  right,  it  is   their  duty,  to 
throw   off   such   Government,   and  to 
provide  new  Guards  for  their  future 
security.  —  Such  has  been  the  patient 
sufferance    of    these    Colonies;    and 
such  is  now  the  necessity  which  con- 
strains   them    to    alter    their    former 
Systems  of  Government.    The  history 
of  the  present  King  of  Great  Britain 
is  a  history  of  repeated  injuries  and 
usurpations,  all  having  in  direct  ob- 
ject the  establishment  of  an  absolute 
Tyranny  over  these  States.    To  prove 
this,  let  Facts  be  submitted  to  a  can- 
did world.  —  He  has  refused  his  As- 
sent  to   Laws,   the   most   wholesome 


and  necessary  for  the  public  good. — 
He   has   forbidden   his   Governors   to 
pass  Laws  of  immediate  and  pressing 
importance,  unless  suspended  in  their 
operation   till   his   Assent    should   be 
obtained;  and  when  so  suspended,  he 
has    utterly    neglected    to    attend    to 
them.  —  He  has  refused  to  pass  other 
Laws  for  the  accommodation  of  large 
districts  of  people,  unless  those  peo- 
ple   would    relinquish    the    right    of 
Representation  in  the  Legislature,  a 
right   inestimable   to   them   and    for- 
midable   to    tyrants    only.  —  He    has 
called  together   legislative   bodies   at 
places    unusual,    uncomfortable,    and 
distant  from  the  depository  of  their 
public  Records,  for  the  sole  purpose 
of    fatiguing    them    into    compliance 
with  his  measures. —  He  has  dissolved 
Representative     Houses     repeatedly, 
for  opposing  with  manly  firmness  his 
invasions  on  the  rights  of  the  people. 
—  He   has   refused   for   a   long   time, 
after     such     dissolutions,     to     cause 
others    to    be    elected;    whereby    the 
Legislative  powers,  incapable  of  An- 
nihilation, have  returned  to  the  Peo- 
ple  at   large   for  their   exercise ;   the 
State    remaining    in    the    meantime 
exposed  to  all  the  dangers  of  inva- 
sion   from   without,    and   convulsions 
within.  —  He  has  endeavoured  to  pre- 
vent the  population  of.  these  States; 
for     that     purpose     obstructing     the 
Laws  for  Naturalization  of  Foreign- 
ers;   refusing  to  pass   others   to   en- 
courage  their   migration   hither,   and 
raising  the  conditions  of  new  Appro- 
priations    of    Lands.  —  He     has     ob- 
structed  the   Administration    of  Jus- 
tice, by  refusing  his  Assent  to  Laws 
for    establishing  Judiciary    powers. — 
He   has   made   Judges    dependent   on 
his  Will  alone,  for  the  tenure  of  their 
offices,  and  the  amount  and  payment 
of  their  salaries.  — He  has  erected  a 
multitude    of   New   Offices    and    sent 
hither  swarms  of  officers  to  harass 
our   people,   and    eat    out   their   sub- 
stance.—  He   has   kept  among  us,  in 
times     of     peace,     Standing    Armies 
without  the   Consent  of  our  legisla- 
tures.—  He  has  affected  to  render  the 
Military  independent  of  and  superior 
to   the    Civil    power.  —  He    has    com- 
bined with  others  to  subject  us  to  a 
jurisdiction   foreign  to  our  constitu- 
tion,   and    unacknowledged    by    our 
laws;  giving  his  Assent  to  their  Acts 
of  pretended  Legislation  :  —  For  quar- 


The  Declaration  of  Independence — Continued 


tering  large  bodies  of  armed  troops 
among  us:  —  For  protecting  them,  by 
a  mock  Trial,  from  punishment  for 
any  Murders  which  they  should  com- 
mit on  the  Inhabitants  of  these 
States:  —  For  cutting  off  our  Trade 
with  all  parts  of  the  world:  —  For 
imposing  Taxes  on  us  without  our 
Consent : — For  depriving  us  in  many 
cases,  of  the  benefits  of  Trial  by 
Jury:  —  For  transporting  us  beyond 
Seas  to  be  tried  for  pretended  of- 
fences:—  For  abolishing  the  free 
System  of  English  Laws  in  a  neigh- 
bouring Province,  establishing  there- 
in an  Arbitrary  government,  and  en- 
larging its  Boundaries  so  as  to  ren- 
der it  at  once  an  example  and  fit  in- 
strument for  introducing  the  same 
absolute  rule  into  these  Colonies:  — 
For  taking  away  our  Charters,  abol- 
ishing our  most  valuable  Laws,  and 
altering  fundamentally  the  Forms  of 
our  Governments.  —  For  suspending 
our  own  Legislatures,  and  declaring 
themselves  invested  with  power  to 
legislate  for  us  in  all  cases  whatso- 
ever.—  He  has  abdicated  Govern- 
ment here,  by  declaring  us  out  of  his 
Protection  and  waging  War  against 
us:  —  He  has  plundered  our  seas, 
ravaged  our  Coasts,  burnt  our  towns, 
and  destroyed  the  lives  of  our  people. 
—  He  is  all  this  time  transporting 
large  Armies  of  foreign  Mercenaries 
to  compleat  the  works  of  death,  des- 
olation and  tyranny,  already  begun 
with  circumstances  of  Cruelty  &  per- 
fidy scarcely  paralleled  in  the  most 
barbarous  ages,  and  totally  unworthy 
the  Head  of  a  civilized  nation.  —  He 
has  constrained  our  fellow  Citizens 
taken  Captive  on  the  high  Seas  to 
bear  Arms  against  their  Country,  to 
become  the  executioners  of  their 
friends  and  Brethren,  or  to  fall  them- 
selves by  their  Hands.  —  He  has  ex- 
cited domestic  insurrections  amongst 
us,  and  has  endeavoured  to  bring  on 
the  inhabitants  of  our  frontiers,  the 
merciless  Indian  Savages,  whose 
known  rule  of  warfare,  is  an  undis- 
tinguished destruction  of  all  ages, 
sexes  and  conditions.  —  In  every 
stage  of  these  Opressions  We  have 


Petitioned  for  Redress  in  the  most 
humble  terms :  Our  repeated  Peti- 
tions have  been  answered  only  by  re- 
peated injury.  A  Prince,  whose  char- 
acter is  thus  marked  by  every  act 
which  may  define  a  Tyrant,  is  unfit  to 
be  the  ruler  of  a  free  People.  —  Nor 
have  We  been  wanting  in  attention 
to  our  Brittish  brethren.  We  have 
warned  them  from  time  to  time  of 
attempts  by  their  legislature  to  ex- 
tend an  unwarrantable  jurisdiction 
over  us.  We  have  reminded  them  of 
the  circumstances  of  our  emigration 
and  settlement  here.  We  have  ap- 
pealed to  their  native  justice  and 
magnanimity,  and  we  have  conjured 
them  by  the  ties  of  our  common  kin- 
dred to  disavow  these  usurpations, 
which,  would  inevitably  interrupt  our 
connections  and  correspondence. 
They  too  have  been  deaf  to  the  voice 
of  justice  and  of  consanguinity.  We 
must,  therefore,  acquiesce  in  the  ne- 
cessity, which  denounces  our  Separa- 
tion, and  hold  them,  as  we  hold  the 
rest  of  mankind,  Enemies  in  War,  in 
Peace  Friends. 

We,  therefore,  the  Representatives 
of  the  united  States  of  America,  in 
General  Congress,  Assembled,  appeal- 
ing to  the  Supreme  Judge  of  the 
world  for  the  rectitude  of  our  inten- 
tions, do,  in  the  Name,  and  by  Au- 
thority of  the  good  People  of  these 
Colonies,  solemnly  publish  and  de- 
clare, That  these  United  Colonies  are, 
and  of  Right  ought  to  be  Free  and 
Independent  States ;  that  they  are 
Absolved  from  all  Allegiance  to  the 
British  Crown,  and  that  all  political 
connection  between  them  and  the 
State  of  Great  Britain,  is  and  ought 
to  be  totally  dissolved;  and  that  as 
Free  and  Independent  States,  they 
have  full  power  to  levy  War,  con- 
clude Peace,  contract  Alliances,  es- 
tablish Commerce,  and  to  do  all  other 
Acts  and  Things  which  Independent 
States  may  of  right  do.  —  And  for  the 
support  of  this  Declaration,  with  a 
firm  reliance  on  the  protection  of 
divine  Providence,  we  mutually 
pledge  to  each  other  our  Lives,  our 
Fortunes  and  our  sacred  Honour. 


Allegiance  Pledge 

I  pledge  allegiance  to  my  Flag, 

And  to  the  Republic  for  which  it  stands; 

One  Nation  indivisible, 

With  liberty  and  justice  for  all. 


Lincoln's  Address  at  Gettysburg 


TpOURSCORE  and  seven  years  ago, 
'    our  fathers   brought   forth   upon 
this  continent  a  new  Nation,  con- 
ceived  in   Liberty,   and   dedicated   to 
the  proposition  that  all  men  are  cre- 
ated equal. 

— Now  we  are  engaged  in  a  great 
civil  war,  testing  whether  that  Na- 
tion so  conceived  and  so  dedicated, 
can  long  endure. 

— We  are  met  on  a  great  battlefield 
of  that  war.  We  have  come  here  to 
dedicate  a  portion  of  that  field  as  a 
final  resting  place  for  those  who  here 
gave  their  lives  that  that  Nation 
might  live. 

— It  is  altogether  fitting  and  proper 
that  we  should  do  this. 
—But  in  a  larger  sense,  we  cannot 
dedicate,  we  cannot  consecrate,  we 
cannot  hallow  this  ground.  The 
brave  men,  living  and  dead,  who 
struggled  here,  have  consecrated  it 


far  above  our  power  to  add  or  de- 
tract. 

—The  world  will  little  note,  or  long 
remember,  what  we  say  here ;  but  it 
can  never  forget  what  they  did  here. 
— It  is  for  us,  the  living,  rather  to  be 
dedicated  here  to  the  unfinished  work 
which  they  who  fought  here  have, 
thus  far,  so  nobly  advanced. 
—It  is  rather  for  us  to  be  here  dedi- 
cated to  the  great  task  remaining 
before  us;  that  from  these  honored 
dead  we  take  increased  devotion  to 
that  cause  for  which  they  gave  the 
last  full  measure  of  devotion;  that 
we  here  highly  resolve  that  these 
dead  shall  not  have  died  in  vain; 
that  this  Nation,  under  God,  shall 
have  a  new  birth  of  freedom;  and 
that  government  of  the  people,  by  the 
people  and  for  the  people,  shall  not 
perish  from  the  earth. 


Extract  from  "  The  Man  Without  a  Country." 


Y< 
what  it  is  to  be  without  a  family, 
without  a  home,  and  without  a 
country.  And  if  you  are  ever  tempted 
to  say  a  word  or  to  do  a  thing  that 
shall  put  a  bar  between  you  and  your 
family,  your  home,  and  your  country, 
pray  God  in  his  mercy  to  take  you 
that  instant  home  to  his  own  heaven. 
Stick  by  your  family,  boy ;  forget 
you  have  a  self,  while  you  do  every- 
thing for  them.  Think  of  your  home, 
boy;  write  and  send,  and  talk  about 
it.  Let  it  be  nearer  and  nearer  to 
your  thought  the  farther  you  have 
to  travel  from  it ;  and  rush  back  to  it 
when  you  are  free,  as  that  poor  black 


slave  is  doing  now.  And  for  your 
country,  boy,  and  for  that  flag,  never 
dream  a  dream  but  of  serving  her  as 
she  bids  you,  though  the  service 
carry  you  through  a  thousand  hells. 
No  matter  what  happens  to  you,  no 
matter  who  flatters  you  or  who 
abuses  you,  never  look  at  another 
flag,  never  let  a  night  pass  but  you 
pray  God  to  bless  that  flag.  Remem- 
ber, boy,  that  behind  all  these  men 
you  have  to  do  with,  behind  officers 
and  government  and  people  even, 
there  is  the  Country  Herself,  your 
Country,  and  that  you  belong  to  Her 
as  you  belong  to  your  own  mother." 
—Edward  Everett  Hale. 


Selected  Passages  from 

The  President's  War  Message 

Delivered  to  the  Congrecs  of  the  United  States  of  America,  April  2,  1917 
By  \Voodrow  Wilson 


I  HAVE   called   the   Congress   into 
extraordinary     session     because 
there    are    serious,   very   serious, 
choices    of   policy    to    be    made,    and 
made     immediately,     which     it     was 
neither     right     nor     constitutionally 
permissible  that  I  should  assume  the 
responsibility  of  making. 
******* 

— The  present  German  submarine 
warfare  against  commerce  is  a  war- 
fare against  mankind.  It  is  a  war 
against  all  nations. 
— American  ships  have  been  sunk, 
American  lives  taken,  in  ways  which 
it  has  stirred  us  very  deeply  to  learn 
of,  but  the  ships  and  people  of  other 
neutral  and  friendly  nations  have 
been  sunk  and  overwhelmed  in  the 
waters  in  the  same  way.  There  has 
been  no  discrimination. 
— The  challenge  is  to  all  mankind. 
Each  nation  must  decide  for  itself 
how  it  will  meet  it. 
— The  choice  we  make  for  ourselves 
must  be  made  with  a  moderation  of 
counsel  and  a  temperateness  of  judg- 
ment befitting  our  character  and  our 
motives  as  a  nation.  We  must  put 
excited  feeling  away. 
— Our  motives  will  not  be  revenge  or 
the  victorious  assertion  of  the  phy- 
sical might  of  the  nation,  but  only 
the  vindication  of  right,  of  human 
right,  of  which  we  are  only  a  single 
champion. 
******* 

— There  is  one  choice  we  cannot 
make,  we  are  incapable  of  making. 
We  will  not  choose  the  path  of  sub- 
mission and  suffer  the  most  sacred 
rights  of  our  nation  and  our  people 
to  be  ignored  or  violated.  The 
wrongs  against  which  we  now  array 
ourselves  are  not  common  wrongs ; 
they  cut  to  the  very  roots  of  human 
life. 

— With  a  profound  sense  of  the  sol- 
emn and  even  tragical  character  of 
the  step  I  am  taking  and  of  the  grave 
responsibilities  which  it  involves,  but 
in  unhesitating  obedience  to  what  I 
deem  my  constitutional  duty,  I  advise 
that  the  Congress  declare  the  recent 
course  of  the  Imperial  German  Gov- 
ernment to  be  in  fact  nothing  less 
than  war  against  the  government  and 
people  of  the  United  States;  that  it 
formally  accept  the  status  of  bellig- 
erent, which  has  thus  been  thrust 
upon  it,  and  that  it  take  immediate 
steps  not  only  to  put  the  country  in  a 
more  thorough  state  of  defense,  but 


also  to  exert  all  its  power  and  em- 
ploy   all    its    resources    to    bring    the 
government   of   the   German    Empire 
to  terms  and  end  the  war.

— Our  object  is  to  vindicate  the  prin- 
ciples of  peace  and  justice  in  the  life 
of  the  world  as  against  selfish  and 
autocratic  power  and  to  set  up 
amongst  the  really  free  and  self- 
governed  peoples  of  the  world  such  a 
concert  of  purpose  and  of  action  as 
will  henceforth  insure  .the  observ- 
ance of  those  principles. 
— Neutrality  is  no  longer  feasible  or 
desirable  where  the  peace  of  the 
world  is  involved  and  the  freedom  of 
its  peoples,  and  the  menace  to  that 
peace  and  freedom  lies  in  the  exist- 
ence of  autocratic  governments 
backed  by  organized  force  which  is 
controlled  wholly  by  their  will,  not 
by  the  will  of  their  people.  We  have 
seen  the  last  of  neutrality  in  such 
circumstances. 

— We  are  at  the  beginning  of  an  age 
in  which  it  will  be  insisted  that  the 
same  standards  of  conduct  and  of 
responsibility  for  wrong  done  shall 
be  observed  among  nations  and  their 
governments  that  are  observed  among 
the  individual  citizens  of  civilized 
states. 

— We  have  no  quarrel  with  the  Ger- 
man people.  We  have  no  feeling 
toward  them  but  one  of  sympathy 
and  friendship.  It  was  not  upon  their 
impulse  that  their  government  acted 
in  entering  this  war.  It  was  not  with 
their  previous  knowledge  or  approval. 
— It  was  a  war  determined  upon  as 
wars  used  to  be  determined  on  in 
the  old,  unhappy  days  when  peoples 
were  nowhere  consulted  by  their 
rulers  and  wars  were  provoked  and 
waged  in  the  interest  of  dynasties  or 
of  little  groups  of  ambitious  men  who 
were  accustomed  to  use  their  fellow 
men  as  pawns  and  tools. 
— Self-governed  nations  do  not  fill 
their  neighbor  states  with  spies,  or 
set  the  course  of  intrigue  to  bring 
about  some  critical  posture  of  affairs 
which  will  give  them  an  opportunity 
to  strike  and  make  conquest.  Such 
designs  can  be  successfully  worked 
only  under  cover  and  where  no  one 
has  the  right  to  ask  questions. 
— Cunningly  contrived  plans  of  de- 
ception or  aggression,  carried,  it  may 
be,  from  generation  to  generation, 
can  be  worked  out  and  kept  from  the 
light  only  within  the  privacy  of

courts  or  behind  the  carefully  guard- 
ed confidences  of  a  narrow  and  privi- 
leged class.  They  are  happily  im- 
possible where  public  opinion  com- 
mands and  insists  upon  full  informa- 
tion concerning  all  the  nation's 
affairs. 

— A  steadfast  concert  for  peace  can 
never  be  maintained  except  by  a 
partnership  of  democratic  nations. 
No  autocratic  government  could  be 
trusted  to  keep  faith  within  it  or  con- 
serve its  covenants.  It  must  be  a 
league  of  honor,  a  partnership  of 
opinion. 

— Intrigue  would  eat  its  vitals  away; 
the  plottings  of  inner  circles  who 
could  plan  what  they  would  and  ren- 
der account  to  no  one  would  be  a  cor- 
ruption seated  at  its  very  heart.  Only 
free  peoples  can  hold  their  purpose 
and  their  honor  steady  to  a  common 
end  and  prefer  the  interests  of  man- 
kind to  any  narrow  interest  of  their 
own.

— We  are  now  about  to  accept  the 
gage  of  battle  with  this  natural  foe 
to  liberty  and  shall,  if  necessary, 
spend  the  whole  force  of  the  nation 
to  check  and  nullify  its  pretensions 
and  its  power.  We  are  glad,  now  that 
we  see  the  facts  with  no  veil  of  false 
pretense  about  them,  to  fight  thus  for 
the  ultimate  peace  of  the  world  and 
for  the  liberation  of  its  peoples,  the 
German  peoples  included;  for  the 
rights  of  nations  great  and  small  and 
the  privilege  of  men  everywhere  to 
choose  their  way  of  life  and  of  obedi- 
ence. The  world  must  be  made  safe 
for  democracy.  Its  peace  must  be 
planted  upon  the  trusted  foundations 
of  political  liberty. 

— We  have  no  selfish  ends  to  serve. 
We  desire  no  conquest,  no  dominion. 
We  seek  no  indemnities  for  our- 
selves, no  material  compensation  for 
the  sacrifices  we  shall  freely  make. 
We  are  but  one  of  the  champions  of 
the  rights  of  mankind.  We  shall  be 
satisfied  when  those  rights  have  been 
as  secure  as  the  faith  and  the  free- 
dom of  the  nations  can  make  them. 
—Just  because  \v.  fight  without  ran- 
cor, animus,  not  in  enmity  toward  a 
people  nor  with  the  desire  to  bring 
any  injury  or  disadvantage  upon 
them,  but  only  in  armed  opposition 
to  an  irresponsible  government  which 
has  thrown  aside  all  considerations 
of  humanity  and  of  right  and  is  run- 
ning amuck. 

— We  are,  let  me  say  again,  the  sin- 
cere friends  of  the  German  people 
and  shall  desire  nothing  so  much  as 
the  early  reestablishment  of  inti- 
mate relations  of  mutual  advantage 


between  us — however  hard  it  may  be 
for  them,  for  the  time  being,  to  be- 
lieve that  this  is  spoken  from  our 
hearts.  We  have  borne  with  their 
present  government  through  all  these 
bitter  months  because  of  that  friend- 
ship— exercising  a  patience  and  fore- 
bearance  which  would  otherwise  have 
been  impossible.  We  shall  happily, 
still  have  an  opportunity  to  prove  that 
friendship  in  our  daily  attitude  and 
action  toward  the  millions  of  men 
and  women  of  German  birth  and  na- 
tive sympathy  who  live  amongst  us 
and  share  our  life,  and  we  shall  be 
proud  to  prove  it  toward  all  who  are 
in  fact  loyal  to  their  neighbors  and 
to  this  government  in  the  hour  of 
test.  They  are,  most  of  them,  as  true 
and  loyal  Americans  as  if  they  had 
never  known  any  other  fealty  or  al- 
legiance. 

— They  will  be  prompt  to  stand  with 
us  in  rebuking  and  restraining  the 
few  who  may  be  of  a  different  mind 
and  purpose. 

— If  there  should  be  disloyalty,  it 
will  be  dealt  with  with  a  firm  hand 
of  stern  repression ;  but,  if  it  lifts  its 
head  at  all,  it  will  lift  it  only  here 
and  there  and  without  countenance 
except  from  a  lawless  and  malignant 
few. 

— It  is  a  distressing  and  oppressive 
duty,  gentlemen  of  the  Congress, 
which  I  have  performed  in  thus  ad- 
dressing you.  There  are,  it  may  be, 
many  months  of  fiery  trial  and  sacri- 
fice ahead  of  us.  It  is  a  fearful  thing 
to  lead  this  great  peaceful  country 
into  war,  into  the  most  terrible  and 
disastrous  of  all  wars,  civilization  it- 
self seeming  to  be  in  the  balance. 
But  the  right  is  more  precious  than 
peace,  and  we  shall  fight  for  the 
things  which  we  have  always  carried 
nearest  our  hearts — for  democracy* 
for  the  right  of  those  who  submit  to 
authority  to  have  a  voice  in  their 
own  governments,  for  the  rights  and 
liberties  of  small  nations,  for  a  uni- 
versal dominion  of  right  by  such  a 
concert  of  free  peoples  as  shall  bring 
peace  and  safety  to  all  nations,  and 
make  the  world  itself  at  last  free. 
— To  such  a  task  we  can  dedicate  our 
lives  and  our  fortunes,  everything 
that  we  are  and  everything  that  we 
have,  with  the  pride  of  those  who 
know  that  the  day  has  come  when 
America  is  privileged  to  spend  her 
blood  and  her  might  for  the  princi- 
ples that  gave  her  birth  and  happi- 
ness and  the  peace  which  she  has 
treasured.  God  helping  her,  she  can 
do  no  other, 


Makers  of  the  Flag 


Delivered  on  Flag  Day.  1914.  Before  the  Employees  of  the  Department  of  the  Interior, 
Washington,  D.  C.,  by  Franklin  K.  Lane,  Secretary  of  the  Interior 


THIS  morning,  as  I  passed  into  the 
Land  Office,  The  Flag  dropped 
me  a  most  cordial  salutation,  and 
from  its  rippling  folds  1  heard  it  say : 
— "Good  morning.  Mr.  Flag  Maker." 
— "I  beg  your  pardon,  Old  Glory,"  I 
said,  "aren't  you  mistaken?  I  am 
not  the  President  of  the  United 
States,  nor  a  member  of  Congress, 
nor  even  a  general  in  the  army.  I 
am  only  a  government  clerk." 
— "I  greet  you  again,  Mr.  Flag 
Maker,"  replied  the  gay  voice,  "I 
know  you  well.  You  are  the  man  who 
worked  in  the  swelter  of  yesterday 
straightening  out  the  tangle  of  that 
farmer's  homestead  in  Idaho,  or  per- 
haps you  found  the  mistake  in  that 
Indian  contract  in  Oklahoma,  or 
helped  to  clear  that  patent  for  the 
hopeful  inventor  in  New  York,  or 
pushed  the  opening  of  that  new  ditch 
in  Colorado,  or  made  that  mine  in 
Illinois  more  safe,  or  brought  relief 
to  the  old  soldier  in  Wyoming.  No 
matter;  whichever  one  of  these  bene- 
ficent individuals  you  may  happen 
to  be,  I  give  you  greeting,  Mr.  Flag 
Maker." 

— I  was  about  to  pass  on  when  The 
Flag  stopped  me  with  these  words  ; 
— "Yesterday  the  President  spoke  a 
word  that  made  happier  the  future 
of  ten  million  peons  in  Mexico;  but 
that  act  looms  no  larger  on  the  flag 
than  the  struggle  which  the  boy  in 
Georgia  is  making  to  win  the  Corn 
Club  prize  this  summer. 
— "Yesterday  the  Congress  spoke  a 
word  which  will  open  the  door  of 
Alaska;  but  a  mother  in  Michigan 
worked  from  sunrise  until  far  into 
the  night  to  give  her  boy  an  educa- 
tion. She.  too,  is  making  the  flag. 
— "Yesterday  we  made  a  new  law  to 
prevent  financial  panics,  and  yester- 
day, maybe,  a  school  teacher  in  Ohio 
taught  his  first  letters  to  a  boy  who 
will  one  day  write  a  song  that  will 
pive  cheer  to  the  millions  of  our  race. 
We  are  all  making  the  flag." 
— "But,"  I  said  impatiently,  "these 
people  were  only  working!" 
—Then  came  a  great  shout  from  The 
Flag: 


-"The  work  that  we  do  is  the  mak- 
ing of  the  flag. 

—"I  am  not  the  flag;  not  at  all.  I  am 
but  its  shadow. 

— "I  am  whatever  you  make  me, 
nothing  more. 

— "I  am  your  belief  in  yourself,  your 
dream  of  what  a  People  may  become. 
— "I  live  a  changing  life,  a  life  of 
moods  and  passions,  of  heart  breaks 
and  tired  muscles. 

— "Sometimes  I  am  strong  with  pride, 
when  men  do  an  honest  work,  fitting 
the  rails  together  truly. 

-"Sometimes  I  droop,  for  then  pur- 
pose has  gone  from  me,  and  cynically 
I  play  the  coward. 

—"Sometimes  I  am  loud,  garish,  and 
full  of  that  ego  that  blasts  judgment. 
— "But  always,  I  am  all  that  you  hope 
to  be,  and  have  the  courage  to  try  for. 
— "I  am  song  and  fear,  struggle  and 
panic,  and  ennobling  hope. 
— "I  am  the  day's  work  of  the  weak- 
est man,  and  the  largest  dream  of  the 
most  daring. 

— "I    am    the    constitution    and    the 
courts,     statutes     and     the     statute 
makers,     soldier     and     dreadnaught, 
drayman     and     street     sweep,     cook, 
counselor  and  clerk. 
— "I  am  the  battle  of  yesterday,  and 
the  mistake  of  to-morrow. 
— "I  am  the  mystery  of  the  men  who 
do  without  knowing  why. 
— "I   am  the   clutch   of  an   idea,   and 
the  reasoned  purpose  of  resolution. 
— "I  am  no  more  than  what  you  be- 
lieve me  to  be  and  I  am  all  that  you 
believe  I  can  be. 

— "I  am  what  you  make  me,  nothing 
more. 

— "I  swing  before  your  eyes  as  a 
bright  gleam  of  color,  a  symbol  of 
yourself,  the  pictured  suggestion  of 
that  big  thing  which  makes  this  na- 
tion. My  stars  and  stripes  are  your 
dream  and  your  labors.  They  are 
bright  with  cheer,  brilliant  with  cour- 
age, firm  with  faith,  because  you  have 
made  them  so  out  of  your  hearts. 
For  you  are  the  makers  of  the  flag 
and  it  is  well  that  you  glory  in  the 
making." 


"When  Freedom  from  her  mountain  height 

Unfurled  her  standard  to  the  air, 

She  tore  the  azure  robe  of  night 

And  set  the  stars  of  glory  there. 

She  mingled  with  its  gorgeous  dies 

The  milky  baldric  of  the  skies ; 

And  striped  its  pure  celestial  white 

With  streakings  of  the  morning  light." — Drake,

America's  Purpose 

By  President  Wilson,  at  Arlington,  Memorial  Day,  1917 


IN  one  sense,  the  great  struggle 
into  which  we  have  now  entered 
is  an  American  struggle,  because 
it  is  in  the  sense  of  American  honor 
and  American  rights,  but  it  is  some- 
thing even  greater  than  that;  it  is  a 
world  struggle.  It  is  a  struggle  of 
men  who  love  liberty  everywhere, 
and  in  this  cause  America  will  show 
herself  greater  than  ever,  because 
she  will  rise  to  a  greater  thing. 
— We  have  said  in  the  beginning  that 
we  planned  this  great  Government 
that  men  who  wish  freedom  might 
have  a  place  of  refuge  and  a  place 


where  their  hope  could  be  realized, 
and  now,  having  established  such  a 
Government,  having  preserved  such 
a  Government,  having  vindicated  the 
power  of  such  a  government,  we  are 
saying  to  all  mankind,  "We  did  not 
set  this  Government  up  in  order  that 
we  might  have  a  selfish  and  separate 
liberty,  for  we  are  now  ready  to 
come  to  your  assistance  and  fight  out 
upon  the  fields  of  the  world  the 
cause  of  human  liberty." 
— In  this  thing  America  attains  her 
full  dignity  and  the  full  fruition  of  her 
great  purpose. 


An  Ode 

In  Imitation  of  Alcaeus,  by  William  Jones 

What  constitutes  a  State? 
Not  high-raised  battlement  or  labored  mound, 

Thick  wall  or  moated  gate ; 
Not  cities  proud  with  spires  and  turrets  crowned; 

Not  bays  and  broad-armed  ports, 
Where,  laughing  at  the  storm,  rich  navies  ride; 

Not  starred  and  spangled  courts, 
Where  low-browed  baseness  wafts  perfume  to  pride. 

No: — men,  high-minded  men, 
With  powers  as  far  above  dull  brutes  endued 

In  forest,  brake,  or  den, 
As  beasts  excel  cold  rocks  and  brambles  rude, — 

Men  who  their  duties  know, 
But  know  their  rights,  and,  knowing,  dare  maintain 

Prevent  the  long-aimed  blow, 
And  crush  the  tyrant  while  they  rend  the  chain : — 

These  constitute  a  State; 
And  sovereign  Law,  that  State's  collected  will, 

O'er  thrones  and  globes  elate 
Sits  empress,  crowning  good,  repressing  ill. 

Smit  by  her  sacred  frown, 
The  fiend,  Dissension,  like  a  vapor  sinks ; 

And  e'en  the  all-dazzling  Crown 
Hides  his  faint  rays,  and  at  her  bidding  shrinks. 


Adams  and  Liberty 


By  Thomas  Paine 

Ye  sons  of  Columbia,  who  bravely  have  fought, 

For  those  rights,  which  unstained  from  your  Sires  had  descended, 
May  you  long  taste  the  blessings  your  valour  has  bought, 
And  your  sons  reap  the  soil  which  their  fathers  defended. 
'Mid  the  reign  of  mild  Peace, 
May  your  nation  increase, 

With  the  glory  of  Rome,  and  the  wisdom  of  Greece; 
And  ne'er  shall  the  sons  of  Columbia  be  slaves, 
While  the  earth  bears  a  plant,  or  the  sea  rolls  its  waves. 


STAR  SPANGLED  BANNER 
Words  by  Francis  Scott  Key 


No  patriotic  song  has  a  more  thrilling  or  inspiring  history  than  the  national  anthem  of  our  country, 
"The  Star-Spangled  Banner."  It  was  during  the  war  of  1812,  after  the  British  had  failed  to  reduce 
Fort  McHenry,  the  defense  of  Baltimore,  that  Francit  Scott  Key,  held  prisoner  by  Lord  Cockburn,  the 
British  admiral,  wrote  the  first  lines  of  the  "Star-Spangled  Banner."  Key  had  gone  to  the  flagship 
under  a  flag  of  truce  for  the  purpose  of  requesting  the  release  of  a  friend  who  was  being  held  as  a 
prisoner.  The  British  admiral  had  just  completed  his  plans  for  the  attack  on  Fort  McHenry,  and 
instead  of  releasing  Key's  friend,  made  Key  a  temporary  prisoner.  The  battle  began  on  September  13, 
1814,  and  lasted  until  the  morning  of  the  following  day.  From  his  prison  ship  Key  watt  bed  the  prog- 
ress of  the  bombardment  hopeful  but  not  confident  that  the  "Stars  and  Stripes"  would  still  wave  above 
the  fort  when  the  battle  ended.  Now  he  would  catch  a  glimpse  of  the  flag  for  a  second  as  the  smoke 
and  fog  cleared  away,  and  then  it  would  be  hidden  from  view  again  as  the  British  guns  belched  forth 
shot,  fire  and  smoke.  Night  fell  and  the  bombardment  continued.  Anxiously  the  prisoner  peered 
through  the  darkness  for  a  glimpse  of  the  flag.  For  an  instant,  as  a  bomb  or  a  rocket  would  burst 
perilously  close  to  its  staff,  ne  would  see  it,  only  to  have  darkness  close  in  again — and  with  darkness 
came  uncertainty.  The  hours  passed  slowly,  but  Key  remained  at  his  post  watching,  hoping  against 
hope.  Morning  broke  at  last,  and  above  the  fort  "Old  Glory"  still  floated  defiantly  in  the  breeze.  The 
British  had  failed,  and  withdrew.  It  was  then  that  Key,  on  the  inspiration  of  the  moment,  put  down 
the  first  lines  or  notes  from  which  he  later  wrote  the  "Star-Spangled  Banner."  A  week  later  the 
verses  were  published  In  a  Baltimore  paper,  under  the  title  of  "The  Defense  of  Fort  McHenry."  A 
short  time  later  they  were  set  to  the  tune  of  the  old  air,  "To  Ancreon  in  Heaven,"  and  were  taken 
up  at  once  by  the  troops  camped  in  Baltimore,  and  from  that  time  the  song  grew  in  popularity  until 
to-day  it  is  given  first  place  among  our  national  tongs.  — From  "Songs  of  Our  Country."

THIRD  STANZA 

And  where  is  that  band  who  so  vauntingly  swore 
That  the  havoc  of  war  and  the  battle's  con- 
fusion, 

\  home  and  a  country  should  leave  us  no  more? 
Their  blood  has  wash'd  out  their  foul  foot- 
steps' pollution. 

No  refuge  can  save  the  hireling  and  slave 
From  the  terror  of  flight  or  the  gloom   of 

the  grave: 
And  the  star  spangled  bannet    in  triumph  doth 

wave 

(Ver  the  land  of  the  free  and  the  home  of  the 
brave. 


FOURTH  STANZA 

O  thus  be  it  ever  when  free-men  shall  stand 
Between  their  lov'd  home  and  the  war's  deso- 
lation ; 
Blessed  with  vict'ry  and  peace,  may  the  heav'n- 

rescued  land 
Praise  the  pow'r  that  hath  made  and  presenr'd 

us  a  nation! 
Then  conquer  we  must,  when  our  cause  it 

is  just, 
And   this   be   our   motto:    "In   God    is    our 

trust," 
And  the  star  spangled  banner  in  triumph  shall 

wave 

O'er  the  land  of  the  free  and  the  home  of  the 
brave. 


AMERICA 


Words  by  Samuel  Francis  Smith 


Music  by  Henry  Carey 


Samuel  Francis  Smith,  D.  D.,  for  many  years  the  pastor  of  the  First  Baptist  Church  of  Newton, 
Mass.,  wrote  the  words  of  "America"  when  he  was  a  student  at  Andover  Academy  in  the  winter  of 
1831-32.  It  was  first  used  publicly  several  years  later  at  a  Sunday  school  celebration  of  July  Fourth 
in  the  Park  Street  Church,  Boston.  The  music  is  that  of  "God  Save  the  King." 

— From   "Songs   of  Our  Country."

COLUMBIA,  THE  GEM  OF  THE  OCEAN 
Words  by  D.  T.  Shaw  Music  by  Thomas  A.  Becket 

This  song  Is  also  known  as  "The  Red,  White  and  Blue."  It  was  written  and  composed  by  David 
T.  Shaw,  under  the  title  of  "Columbia,  the  Land  of  the  Brave."  and  was  published  in  1843.  Though 
the  name  and  idea  seem  to  have  originated  with  Shaw,  an  American,  the  words  and  music,  as  now 
printed  and  sung,  are  conceded  to  Thomas  A.  Beckett,  an  Englishman.  It  was  sung  for  the  first  time 
in  the  fall  of  1843  at  the  Chestnut  Street  Theater,  Philadelphia.  Pa.

HAIL  COLUMBIA 


Words  by  J.  Hopkinson 


Music  by  J.  Phyla 


"Hall  Columbia"  Is  the  oldest  patriotic  song  of  the  United  States.  The  words  were  written  in 
1798  by  Joseph  Hopkinson,  a  Philadelphia  lawyer,  and  its  music  dates  back  to  Washington's  inaugura- 
tion in  1789.  Although  Hopkinson  was  the  author  of  the  verses,  it  was  an  actor  who  first  conceived 
the  idea.  In  1798  France  and  England  were  at  war  and  feeling  in  the  United  States  ran  high  as  to 
which  side  we  should  take.  Gilbert,  a  Philadelphia  player,  suggested  to  Hopkinson  that  he  write 
patriotic  verses  which  might  be  set  to  the  then  popular  "President's  March."  In  writing  the  verses 
Hopkinson  attempted  to  portray  the  true  American  spirit.  His  success  in  doing  this  was  proven  when 
the  song  was  first  rendered  at  a  Philadelphia  theater.  It  was  received  with  great  enthusiasm  and 
found  favor  with  those  of  British  and  French  sentiment  alike.  During  the  season  President  Adams 
and  his  cabinet  attended  the  theater  in  a  body  to  hear  it.  The  music  of  "Hail  Columbia,"  originally 
known  as  "The  President's  March,"  was  written  by  a  composer  named  Phyla  and  was  first  played  in  1789. 

— From  "Songs  of  Our  Country."

BATTLE  CRY  OF  FREEDOM 


March 


G.  F.  Root 


"The  Battle  Cry  of  Freedom"  was  written  by  George  F.  Root  in  1861.  President  Lincoln  had 
just  issued  his  second  call  for  troops  and  Root  was  impressed  by  the  significance  of  the  proclamation. 
He  caught  the  spirit  of  the  hour  and  there  began  to  evolve  in  his  mind  a  rallying  song.  In  an  out- 
burst of  patriotic  fervor  he  conceived  the  words  and  music  of  the  song  and  it  was  presented  to  the 
public  the  following  day.  It  spread  throughout  the  country  as  if  impelled  by  some  magnetic  influence 
and  did  much  to  swell  the  ranks  of  the  army.  On  one  occasion  it  is  said  to  have  been  the  deciding 
factor  in  a  battle.  — From  "Songs  of  Our  Gauntry."

DIXIE'S  LAND 
Words  by  D.  Emmet 

The  version  of  "Dixie"  which  la  best  known  is  the  composition  of  Dan.  E.  Emmett,  a  well-known 
minstrel  of  yean  gone  by,  and  was  first  sung  in  New  York  in  1860.  Another  version  of  the  song 
which  waa  used  during  the  Civil  War  by  the  South,  was  written  by  General  Albert  Pike,  a  Confederate 
officer.  The  tune  is  thought  to  be  that  of  an  old  negro  melody.  — From  "Songs  of  Our  Country."

5  And  there  I  see  a  swamping  gun, 

Large  as  a  log  of  maple, 
Upon  a  mighty  little  cart; 
A  load  for  father's  cattle. 

6  And  every   time  they  fired  it  off, 

It  took  a  horn  of  powder; 
It  made  a  noise  like  father's  gun, 
Only  a  nation  louder. 

7  And  there  I  see  a  little  keg, 

Its  head  all  made  of  leather, 
They  knocked  upon't  with  little  sticks, 
To  call  the  folks  together. 


8  And  Cap'n  Davis  had  a  gun, 

He  kind  o'  clapt  his  hand  on't 
And  stuck  a  crooked  stabbing-iron 
Upon  the  little  end  on't. 

9  The  troopers,  too,  would  gallop  up 

And  fire  right  in  our  faces; 

It  scared  me  almost  half  to  death 

To  see  them  run  such  races. 

10  It  scared  me  so  I  hooked  it  off, 

Nor  stopped,  as  I  remember, 
Nor  turned  about  till  I  got  home, 
Locked  up  in  mother's  chamber.

LIBERTY  TREE 

In  a  chariot  of  light  from  the  regions  of  day, 

The  Goddess  of  Liberty  came; 
Ten   thousand   celestials   directed   the   way, 

And    hither    conducted    the   dame. 
A   fair   budding  branch  from   the  gardens   above, 

Where  millions  with  millions  agree, 
She  brought  in  her  hand  as  a  pledge  of  her  lore, 

And  the  plant  she  named,  Liberty  Tree. 

— Thomai  Paine.

NEW  ENGLAND 

Hail  to  the  land  whereon  we  tread, 

Our  fondest  boast; 
The  sepulchre  of  mighty  dead, 
The  truest  hearts  that  ever  bled, 
Who  sleep  on  glory's  bright  bed, 

A  fearless  host: 

No  slave  is  here — our  unchain'd  feet 
Walk  freely,  as  the  waves  that  beat 

Our  coast.

SPIRIT  OF  REPUBLICAN  GOVERNMENT 


— What  is  understood  by  a  republican  govern- 
ment in  the  United  States  is  the  slow  and 
quiet  action  of  society  upon  itself.  It  is  a  reg- 
ular state  of  things  really  founded  upon  the  en- 
lightened will  of  the  people.  It  is  a  concilia- 
tory government  under  which  resolutions  are 
allowed  time  to  ripen;  and  in  which  they  are 
deliberately  discussed,  and  executed  with  ma- 
ture judgment  The  republicans  in  the  United 
States  sR  a  high  value  upon  morality,  respect 
religious  belief,  and  acknowledge  the  existence 
of  rights.  They  profess  to  think  that  a  people 
ought  to  be  moral,  religious,  and  temperate,  in 
proportion  as  it  is  free.  What  is  called  the  re- 
public in  the  United  States,  is  the  tranquil  rule 
it  the  majority,  which,  after  having  had  time  to 


examine  itself,  and  to  give  proof  of  its  exist- 
ence, is  the  common  source  of  all  the  powers 
of  the  state. 

******* 
— That  Providence  has  given  to  every  human 
being  the  degree  of  reason  necessary  to  direct 
himself  in  the  affairs  which  interest  him  ex- 
clusively; such  is  the  grand  maxim  upon  which 
civil  and  political  society  rests  in  the  United 
States.  The  father  of  a  family  applies  it  to  hia 
children;  the  master  to  his  servants;  the  town- 
ship to  its  officers;  the  province  to  its  town- 
ships; the  State  to  the  provinces;  the  Union 
to  the  States;  and  when  extended  to  the  nation, 
it  becomes  the  doctrine  of  the  sovereignty  of 
the  people. 

— Alexis  De  Tocqueville.

Selected  Passages  from 

The  President's  Flag  Day  Address 

By  Woodrow  Wilson.  June  14,  1917 


MY  fellow  citizens:  We  meet  to 
celebrate  Flag  Day  because  this 
flag  which  we  honor  and  under 
which  we  serve  is  the  emblem  of  our 
unity,  our  power,  our  thought  and 
purpose  as  a  Nation.  It  has  no  other 
character  than  that  which  we  give  it 
from  generation  to  generation.  The 
choices  are  ours.  It  floats  in  majes- 
tic silence  above  the  hosts  that  exe- 
cute those  choices,  whether  in  peace 
or  in  war.  And  yet,  though  silent,  it 
speaks  to  us — speaks  to  us  of  the 
past,  of  the  men  and  women  who 
went  before  us  and  of  the  records 
they  wrote  upon  it. 
— We  celebrate  the  day  of  its  birth ; 
and  from  its  birth  until  now  it  has 
witnessed  a  great  history,  has  floated 
on  high  the  symbol  of  great  events, 
of  a  great  plan  of  life  worked  out  by 
a  great  people. 

— We  are  about  to  carry  it  into  bat- 
tle, to  lift  it  where  it  will  draw  the 
fire  of  our  enemies.  We  are  about 
to  bid  thousands,  hundreds  of  thou- 
sands, it  may  be  millions  of  our  men, 
the  young,  the  strong,  the  capable 
men  of  the  Nation,  to  go  forth  and 
die  beneath  it  on  fields  of  blood  far 
away — for  what? 

— For  some  unaccustomed  thing? 
For  something  for  which  it  has  never 
sought  the  fire  before?  American 
armies  were  never  before  sent  across 
the  seas.  Why  are  they  sent  now? 
For  some  new  purpose,  for  which  this 
great  flag  has  never  been  carried  be- 
fore, or  for  some  old,  familiar,  heroic 
purposes  for  which  it  has  seen  men, 
its  own  men,  die  on  every  battlefield 
upon  which  Americans  have  borne 
arms  since  the  revolution? 

These  are  questions  which  must  be 
answered.  We  are  Americans.  We 
in  turn  serve  America  and  can  serve 
her  with  no  private  purpose.  We 
must  use  her  flag  as  she  has  always 


used  it.  We  are  accountable  at  the 
bar  of  history  and  must  plead  in  utter 
frankness  what  purpose  it  is  we  seek 

to  serve. 
******* 

— Facts  are  patent  to  all  the  world 
and  nowhere  are  they  more  plainly 
seen  than  in  the  United  States,  where 
we  are  accustomed  to  deal  with  facts 
and  not  with  sophistries;  and  the 
great  fact  that  stands  out  above  all 
the  rest  is  that  this  is  a  people's  war, 
a  war  for  freedom  and  justice  and 
self-government  amongst  all  the  na- 
tions of  the  world,  a  war  to  make  the 
world  safe  for  the  peoples  who  live 
upon  it  and  have  made  it  their  own, 
the  German  people  themselves  in- 
cluded, and  that  with  us  rests  the 
choice  to  break  through  all  these 
hypocrisies  and  patent  cheats  and 
masks  of  brute  force  and  help  set 
the  world  free,  or  else  stand  aside 
and  let  it  be  dominated  along  through 
the  ages  by  sheer  weight  of  arms  and 
arbitrary  mandates  of  self-consti- 
tuted masters,  by  the  nation  which 
can  maintain  the  biggest  armies  and 
the  most  irresistible  armament — a 
power  to  which  the  world  has  afford- 
ed no  parallel  and  in  the  face  of 
which  political  freedom  must  wither 
and  perish. 

— For  us  there  is  but  one  choice.  We 
have  made  it.  Woe  be  to  the  man 
or  group  of  men  that  seeks  to  stand 
in  our  way  in  this  day  of  high  reso- 
lution when  every  principle  we  hold 
dearest  is  to  be  vindicated  and  made 
secure  for  the  salvation  of  the  na- 
tions. 

— We  are  ready  to  plead  at  the  bar 
of  history  and  our  flag  shall  wear  a 
new  lustre.  Once  more  we  shall  make 
good  with  our  lives  and  fortunes  the 
great  faith  to  which  we  were  born 
and  a  new  glory  shall  shine  in  the 
face  of  our  people.

For  a  Broader  Patriotism 

One  evening  the  Head  Resident  of  Friendly  House  tried  to  join  in  the 
singing  of  America  which  closed  the  session  of  the  classes  in  English  at  the 
University  of  Chicago  Settlement.  He  soon  found  that  the  America  of. 
which  he  was  singing — "the  land  where  the  Pilgrims  pride" — was  not  the 
America  of  these  New  Americans  from  over-seas.  That  evening  the  visitor 
found  a  new  song  of  patriotism  and  gained  a  view  of  a  different  America, 
an  America  broader  in  conception  than  the  America  of  the  Smith  poem,  a 
greater  America,  surely,  an  America  that  any  native-born  may  revere  and 
sing  his  admiration  for  with  hand  clasped  in  the  hand  of  another  sort  of 
American,  an  American  in  soul  and  spirit,  American  in  all  except  the  accident 
of  birth. 


A  NEW  AMERICA 

A  Patriotic  Song  That  Americans,  Wherever  Born,  May. Sing. 


1.  Our    fathers'   God,    to   Thee,  3. 
Author  of  liberty, 

•In  every  clime; 
May  we  all  brothers  be 
In  this,  our  country  free, 
Makers  of  unity, 
In  this,  our  time. 

2.  New  land,  of  thee  we  sing,  4. 
Our  hearts,  our  hands  we  bring, 

Thee  let  us  serve. 
Let  us  the  cities  rear, 
And   without    slavish   fear, 
Build  here  a  nation  dear 

In  freedom's  name. 


Let  music  swell  the  breeze, 
And  ring  from  all  the  trees 

Sweet  freedom's  song. 
Let  mortal  tongues  awake, 
Let  all  that  breathe  partake, 
Let  rocks  their  silence  break, 

The   sound  prolong. 

Our  Fathers'  God,  to  Thee, 
Author   of  Liberty, 

To  Thee  we  sing; 
Long  may  our  land  be  bright 
With   freedom's   holy  light. 
Protect  us  by  Thy  might, 

Great   God,  our  King. 


There  is  a  future  look  in  this  verse  that  Miss  Mary  McDowell  has 
written,  the  forward  look,  and  brotherhood,  freedom,  toil  and  aspiration, 
optimism,  trust  in  God  from  whom  comes  liberty  in  every  land. 

It  may  be  that  Americans  by  inheritance  have  all  along  been  lacking 
in  courtesy  in  insisting  that  Americans  through  choice  should  voice  their 
patriotism  in  words  which  for  them  can  have  neither  dedication  nor  devo- 
tion. When  a  New  American  sings,  "My  Native  Country,  Thee,"  and  "Land 
where  My  Fathers  Died,"  he  pays  tribute  to  a  country  to  which  he  renounced 
allegiance  when  he  became  an  American. 

Friendly  House,  January  1918.
